NORTHPORT. 



Favored by nature with remarkably beautiful surroundings and oc- 

 cupying an admirable position where a lovely valley descends to the shore 

 of a large, deep and sheltered bay, Northport offers such obvious facilities for 

 shipbuilding, that, as early as 1814, before the close of the last war with 

 Great Britain and while yet there were but a handful of inhabitants — Bayles

 there were only eight dwellings in the place — one or more vessels had been 

 built there. From Mr. Wm. E. Parrotte I have the following list of vessels 

 built at Northport between 18 14 and 1884, by parties other than the estab- 

 lished builders and whose names are not given :
